Time for an update. Everything we've done since school started in August!

So, after school started.....we took a brief family vacation down to Corpus Christi. It was SO much fun!! The whole family came, which means all of us 5 kids, our significant others (all of us had one) and then any Grandchildren AND my parents. We stayed in a HUGE condo for a couple of nights and I had my surprise 31st birthday out there. I wasn't expecting it b/c this was September of 2010, and I turned 31 in July during all of our wedding chaos. The kids all had a great time, and this was Rowland's 1st time EVER to see the beach up close. We hadn't been out to the beach as a family since Johnny passed away. It was good to get back to normal with our annual family beach vacation.


The Newlyweds....about 3 months into our marriage.

Thanksgiving games while the food is cooking.
This is called Ninja Warrior.


My baby sister and I. Can you believe we're about
15 years apart??


The girls asked why we cut and serve the turkey on a platter rather than bring the whole bird to the table and cut it there (like they see on movies.) So this year we got a picture of them with the whole turkey before Nana cut it up.


Bailey sang in the 4th grade choir at Christmas time.


We got to say goodbye to one of our favorite Elders.
AND we got to meet and have dinner w/ his parents.


The youngest of us 5 siblings, Ashley....graduated highschool!

Nope, we definitely know how to have fun. You should have heard our rendition of 'The 12 days of Christmas'. You'd have thought someone put something in the wassail.
